See also this earlier discussion, where Susanne posted the lyrics:  Warlike Lads of Russia

It would appear that Nic Jones set a broadside text to an unidentified melody, so they won't be conventional "chords"...

Google that. There is a download available, but it takes some time for the site to load.

Have you tried either SOH or Longdogs sites?

Here's the tune from Nic's Unearthed. Unlike most of the transcriptions elsewhere which have "into Moscow he went", he has into Muscovy went (Poland into Russia making better sense than into Moscow).

Thanks.
Muscovy would also make more sense since he adapted it from an old broadside.
